Background and Discussion:

Grant Funds will enable the Precinct’s Victims Assistance Unit to connect crime victims with available resources, educate victims on their rights, familiarize victims with the criminal justice process, and assist with Crime Victims’ Compensation applications. Grant funds will be used to fund the salary and benefits of a Civilian Coordinator and a Case Manager in the Victims Assistance Unit. For FY 2023 there is no match requirement.

 

Expected Impact:

This grant program will keep providing services and assistance directly to victims of crime to speed their recovery and aid them through the criminal justice process.
